Hi friends! Wow, the days are winding down and Christmas is right around the corner! Are you ready!? I think I've given up. I am definitely NOT ready! The important things are done, the presents are mailed and the cards are sent. I guess everything else will have to wait until next year! It's time to enjoy the season before it gets away. This morning when I left for work it was 26 degrees!!! In Sacramento? Brrrrr. We are wimps, and lemme tell ya, it was COLD! That puts me in the mood for Christmas! I hope you are having a great week!
Tonight I'm sharing a card I made with the SUPER cute special edition stamp set from Simon Says Stamp…and it's called Furry Friends! Love that! I got out the Copics and had fun coloring this adorable image. Of course, I had to make the kitty orange like Buddy! Here's my card:
Turns out my Buddy is Copic color YR14 – Caramel! LOL. I added some stripes in a darker color. He even has a white tummy just like Buddy, and pink ears!
I added a green pom pom to the doggie's hat and a little heart to the sentiment word bubble. Just a few touches of Stickles to complete it…
Here are my supplies:
And my Copic palette:
Buddy and I wish you joy and love to you and your furry friends this Christmas!
Tonight after work we went out to scope out some lights… Here is an instagram shot done with my iPhone of the CA state Capitol building and tree. It's so beautiful!
Here's a gorgeous house we saw on our travels…
And here's me being silly with my iPhone apps! Adding hearts and sparkles and words to a bokeh shot of the lights from the Capitol tree. Can't get enough of those cool apps…

Love your card and that stamp! So sweet that you made the kitty look like your adorable Buddy! 🙂 26 degrees?!?! That’s crazy! I don’t think we’ve had a morning that cold yet and that’s pretty typical for NC. We’ve had 60+ degrees days here all week! Merry Christmas, Wanda!
Darling card! Merry Christmas to you, Buddy and hubby. My Gypsy cat sends special wishes to Buddy. Enjoyed the pics.
Love this card and the trio of furry guys is oh so cute! Haven’t seen this paper before but it certainly makes the card merry. Loved the photos and merry lights of California. I’m not ready for Christmas but hoping to be ready for New Year’s party we’re hosting! Frost in this part of FL tomorrow night, weather sure is crazy every where. Merry Christmas to you and your husband & Buddy.
Lovely card Wanda…. nearly there just a few bits to do… love the pics, so atmospheric….. hope you have a great Christmas and Poppy, Tinx and Misty wish Buddy a Miaowy Christmouse….. x
Such a cute card. I love the layout, the patterned paper, and the stickles snowflakes–great touches. Thanks for the photo of the capitol tree; I doubt we’ll get down there before Christmas, esp. with low snow predicted tonight.
I almost always color my kitties in as an orange striped one and I haven’t had an orange striped kitty in ages. He was the bestest though. I did a few gray kitties this year in honor of the kitties. Love the card. It is cold here too in Southern Arizona. I have my gloves and I’m in the office. Brrrr…! I’m impressed I can type in them.
What a cute card and so happy to see that you found one with Buddy in it! Perfect card to send to those who also have “furry” friends!! Yes, it is cold outside…
Fun and furry card, love it! I’m sure Buddy was the purrfect model for you 😉
Yeah, I’m so far behind with my cards, yikes! Did manage to make one for each co-worker which I will hand deliver tomorrow with some homemade caramels (yummmy!). Have a very blessed Christmas!
Wanda that is the cutest card, the image is so cute and your colouring is amazing. I love how you always show exactly what you used to make our cards and you photograph everything so well. Have a very Merry Christmas my friend!
Such a super cute card..LOVE Buddy on it!
LOVE the card!
